This video of a Lionel D&H smokin' switcher hauling oil tankers is reminiscent of an event I attended a few years ago at West Point.
At that time my 6 year old grandaughter was a cheerleader in a Pop Warner-like football game. The playing field was at West Point close to railroad tracks on the western side of the Hudson River. Long freight trains run along those tracks.
Suddenly, the ground started to shake and one could hear the roar of a freight train. It thundered past us pulling seemingly endless oil tanker cars. Breath-taking.
